Treatment of Balanoposthitis in Anaerobic Infection of the Glans Penis and Prepuce

Balanoposthitis — inflammation involving both the glans penis and the prepuce — can arise from anaerobic bacterial infection, a presentation that carries specific management considerations beyond standard cases.

Clinical Scenario

This protocol addresses balanoposthitis where the causative agent is anaerobic infection of the glans penis and prepuce. The anaerobic aetiology shapes the clinical approach and determines which interventions are appropriate for this presentation.

Treatment Approach

Management in this setting may involve a surgical intervention directed at underlying structural factors — the full protocol specifies the indications, conditions, and complete clinical algorithm.
